Magnum 1.5L Il Merlot 2016

Toscana Merlot IGT

ONE GRAPE

Deep ruby red in color, the 2016 Merlot has an intense nose, with aromas of blackberry, blueberry and red plum.

This is followed by notes of undergrowth and wild berries, with spicy nuances, particularly pepper and vanilla.

The palate is distinguished by great class. It is creamy and enveloping, with a fine, well-integrated tannic texture.
